The Kisumu County Government has officially banned Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) from using petrol stations for passenger pick-up, drop-off, waiting, or parking. This directive, effective January 16, aims to enhance public safety, reduce traffic congestion, and ensure petrol stations are used for their intended purpose of petroleum retail.

• The ban is grounded in several legal frameworks, including the Constitution of Kenya (2010), the Traffic Act (Cap. 403), and the Energy Act (2019).
• Both PSV operators and petrol station owners found in violation of this new regulation will face enforcement measures.
• The decision was prompted by concerns regarding safety, traffic disruptions, and public health risks associated with PSVs operating from petrol stations.
